Commentary: Aggression and impulsivity after head injury
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
The most taxing behavioural complications of severe head injury for relatives include irritability and aggression, as illustrated by J. B. Longitudinal studies show an increase over time in the frequency and severity of temper outbursts (Brooks et al, 1986; Hall et al, 1994), which take the form of explosive or impulsive aggression. I will comment on the nature and treatment of impulsive aggression as illustrated in case J. B., emphasising the interaction of neurobiology with motivational, situational and personality factors.
